Re: LTS Upgrading: from Virginia 21.3 to Wilma 22

Why not simply give it a try? You can always do a normal installation if things go sideways. True. But your system might still be less good after a "dirty" in-place upgrade, than it would have been with a fresh clean installation. Without you noticing it. Because of things like left-over ...

Re: kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/8, error -71

Boot from the previous 5.15.x kernel and delete the 6.5.x kernel (Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels).

There are, because the entire underlying Ubuntu codebase is involved. In such cases I always recommend a fresh clean upgrade. Cleaner, more reliable and even much faster.

Re: Misleading ad when creating a new account

That's an unfortunate experience. But you'll have to realize that ads usually come through a channel over which the website owner has little control. The channel pays the website owner for the advertising space and selects the ads (which is often done by means of an automatic process). So it's not a...

Re: kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/8, error -71

Do these two things:

1. Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 6.5 series. Then reboot.

2. Decrease the log level by one notch:

Re: can't open synaptic package manager

Weird.... Well, whatever you do, do NOT launch Synaptic with sudo. If you just did that again: repair the damage again (see my previous message in this thread).

Re: Schijf vol door Timeshift - kopie elders plaatsen?

Daar is Timeshift niet voor ontworpen en niet voor bedoeld. De mogelijkheid wordt wel geboden, dus kan mij goed voorstellen dat er mensen zijn die dat dan ook gebruiken. Evenals de mogelijkheid voor zelfs uurlijkse backups, als dat de bedoeling niet is zou de mogelijkheid niet aangeboden moeten wor...

Dat moet je echt nooit doen.... Daar is Timeshift niet voor ontworpen en niet voor bedoeld.

Voor je thuismap word je in Mint verondersteld om Reservekopie-gereedschap (mintbackup) te gebruiken.

(item 4)

Then this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptic
Finally, try launching Synaptic normally.

Totdat je het vergeet en het systeem crashed... dan kom je erachter hoe fijn automatisch is! Nee hoor....

For the sake of pinpointing, try the daily build of Xubuntu 24.04 in the live session (trying without installing):

Re: Toasted my system trying to help on another thread

Booting from the Mint USB stick and then launching Timeshift is to no avail? Or is this error only there when you use Timeshift after the "successful" boot from the hard disk?
